-
Dip end of hydrometer into cell and extract sufficient electrolyte to allow indicator float to swim freely in the electrolyte. Make note of each cell's
specific gravity reading from indicator float -arrow-. Repeat this sequence until all cells have been tested.
-
The greater the electrolyte density (specific gravity) in kg/cubic dm, the higher the indicator float position.
-
Review noted values and determine variations in specific gravity between cells (if any).
Variations in specific gravity between cells
NOTE:
-
The maximum allowable variation range in specific gravity between cells must not be greater than 0.04 kg/cubic dm.
-
Electrolyte density must be at least 1.24 kg/cubic dm.
Example of unacceptable variations in specific gravity:
Variation range in specific gravity in Example 1, cell 4 (1.10), as well as Example 2, cell 4 (1.14) and cell 5 (1.18) are unacceptable.
Batteries shown in examples are no longer usable and must be discarded.
The following specific gravity values must be attained:
